Easter Candy and Treats
Chocolate Easter Bunnies are a necessity in our Easter baskets. I also
bought Fruit by the Foot and straws that turn your milk into chocolate milk. I love Cadbury Cream Eggs and Mini Eggs. I love jellybeans, especially Jellybellies, Starburst jellybeans, black jellybeans and spiced jellybeans. I don't like to eat Peeps, but I do like the look of them. My mother-in-law occasionally makes an Easter Bunny cake. Tara |

I did buy a box of 8 pretty cookies at Costco. They have a lot of frosting and look like flowers. They are individually wrapped. There is a big chance that nobody will eat them but they are beautiful and my mom can't have real flowers due to allergies. Angela will be making some cookies soon. This will be a first for her. We'll see how they come out. More and more of her friends are employed now in the food industry so she is finally wanting to work with food. I did buy a few small treats for the baskets. Angela wanted a chocolate rabbit. I think her desire for one is because we can never seem to find them in the stores that are peanut free. I had to mail order one and it wasn't cheap. I am actually not doing a basket for her this year but a shopping bag. Ulterior motive there! I saw a cute bag with a cat on it that I want. Am hoping she will let me use it after. Heh. The bag will mostly be full of food but not a lot of sweets. She and husband are both big into jerky these days with bacon being the favorite. She has also been wanting peanut butter a lot so I got some jars of alternate nut and seed butters for her. Also socks. She collects socks. Not like she needs any more but I do get them when I find interesting looking ones. These are in bright spring colors with highly cushioned bottoms. Oh! I also got her a Spring gingerbread house kit. |

Around here, the only stuff left the day after is cheap chocolate and jelly beans or other odd things that nobody wanted. |

I open the Peeps until they are a bit stale. Jelly beans aren't for me, but I do look for the robin eggs (malted balls). > > My mother-in-law occasionally makes an Easter Bunny cake. Coconut? Love that. If I was inclined to go to the store Monday looking for candy sales, they would probably be all out. It just vanishes. They have a whole 'room' of it right now. It used to hold a little bank branch, so it's a decent size, and it's chock full. nancy |

I am remembering back to my childhood (eons ago!). My father always got chocolate Easter bunnies for each of us. One year, they were hollow, and I think he was even more disappointed than we were. From then on, he made sure that all of our chocolate bunnies were solid. I had not even heard of white chocolate in those days. MaryL |

You're the one who somehow got the idea that I was going to move in with you - and you posted that to RFC just out of the total blue. After having met you twice at casual austin.food gatherings 2 or 3 years ago and not giving you any indication that there was any sort of romantic interest in the least, you somehow twisted that into MY MOVING IN WITH YOU? That was just way too Psycho for me. I sat there at stared at the screen for at least 15 minutes wondering, WTF? That was just way too spooky. I've met weird, semi-psycho women before but you win, hands down. Mapi of austin.general still holds the male title, but at least he announced his psychosis right there lying on the floor of the bar at B.D. Reilly's rather than romantically obsessing over me for 2 years. Needless to say, you need to come to terms with what happened and why your mind works that way and stop making up excuses for your fixation and disappointment before we become the next Yoli and Michael. I'd prefer you use a sniper rifle on me from a few hundred yards away. There you go - a reason for you to buy yet another gun and ammo. And Jeremy, I was just tired of your decade of bullshit and visions of grandeur about all these things you're "working on" or have not done in the past. Even posting a call for meetings with imaginary people about imaginary projects of yours at "the normal time and place", as if you are somebody important with a life. I'm pretty sure you're manic depressive mixed with habitual liar. Sorry I don't fit either of your Ideal Psycho Pal Profiles. -sw |

I was a kid but still a tad disappointed. The solid bunnies were the best. I've never seen a solid white chocolate bunny. Then again, I don't go looking for them these days. For Easter candy, I prefer the 'robins eggs' Nancy Young mentioned. Or just plain chocolate covered malted milk balls. Jill |
